Overview

CapCenter is a unique mortgage lender that offers mortgages with zero closing costs. This can save you between 1 and 3% on the cost of your mortgage when you close on a new home. CapCenter charges slightly higher interest rates than competitors, but you can use the lender’s calculators to see how much money you will save by eliminating closing costs.

CapCenter offers a wide range of mortgages, including conventional, jumbo, FHA, and VA loans. The lender also offers mortgage refinancing. You can choose a 10, 15, 20, or 30-year repayment period, and you can qualify for a mortgage with a down payment as low as 3%.

One thing to note is that CapCenter is only available in four states and DC at this time – Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Maryland – and the District of Columbia

Suitable For?

CapCenter is right for homebuyers who want to eliminate closing costs. Most mortgage lenders typically charge closing costs ranging from 1 to 3% of the value of your mortgage, which can be thousands of dollars. CapCenter does not charge these fees and doesn’t subtract them from your mortgage principal.

Instead, it charges slightly higher-than-average interest rates. Depending on the length of your mortgage and the interest rate you qualify for, you could end up saving money by paying no closing costs but a higher interest rate. CapCenter offers a detailed mortgage calculator to help you determine how much you can save.

Types of Loans/Products

CapCenter offers a variety of loans, including conventional and jumbo mortgages, FHA and VA mortgages, and mortgage refinance loans. All loan types come with zero closing costs.

  • Minimum 620 credit score
  • Conventional mortgage rates from 2.280% APR

The Application Process

FAQ

Will applying for a mortgage impact my credit?

CapCenter runs a hard credit check after you apply for a mortgage, so it will impact your credit score. You can get a quote without a credit check.

Does Cap Center service my mortgage?

CapCenter creates mortgages and then sells them to a third-party servicer. You may make your first payment to CapCenter, but all other payments will be made to the third-party servicer.

Can I close remotely?

Yes. In most areas, CapCenter can send a notary for remote closings. 

Can Cap Center help me find a home?

CapCenter has a team of real estate agents that you can use when looking for a new home.
